Kannada superstar Yash starrer KGF: Chapter 1 turned out to be a blockbuster hit not only down South but overseas as well. The film released in five different languages including Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam and opened to a huge response. Reports of a sequel to the original were confirmed recently when producer Farhan Akhtar confirmed the same. He shared a photo of him with Yash and wrote, “Celebrating the love you all have shown KGF with the rocking @thenameisyash .. here’s looking forward to Chapter 2.”

The newest development is that Sanjay Dutt has been offered a role in the next instalment of the KGF franchise. The news was confirmed by Yash himself to a leading daily Asian Age. He said, “We had offered him Chapter one, which he did not accept perhaps for reasons of date availability. But yes, we have offered him Chapter 2 of KGF.”

The report quoted sources and stated that Sanjay Dutt is almost finalised as the main antagonist in KGF Chapter 2. “The only reason he did not accept KGF Chapter 1 was because it was a regional film. And the main lead Yash was unknown outside Karnataka. Now, after Chapter one is a blockbuster and Yash is a household name across the country, the KGF franchise seems much more attractive to Dutt,” the source told Asian Age.
